TRIAL CHAMBER II ("Trial Chamber") of the
International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons
Responsible for Serious Violations of International
Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the
Former Yugoslavia since 1991 ("Tribunal"):

BEING SEISED OF the "Prosecutionís Motion
for Leave to Remove Prosecutionís Exhibit 561 for
Purpose of Investigation" filed by the Office of the
Prosecutor ("Prosecution") on 10 June 2005 ("Motion");

NOTING that the Prosecution in its Motion
is seeking to gain access and temporarily remove Prosecution
Exhibit P561, which is referred to as a diary or a
log book of the military police of Srebrenica ("Exhibit"),
in order to show it to the person who may have authored
it and who is said to have expressed a desire to see
it;

NOTING that the Defence for the accused Naser
Orić has informed the Trial Chamber that it does
not intend to file a response to this Motion;

CONSIDERING that the request set out in the
Motion seems reasonable in the circumstances, which
were described by Prosecution witness Mr. Gamini Wijeyesinghe
when the Exhibit was tendered;

CONSIDERING that this is an Exhibit tendered
by the Prosecution;

CONSIDERING therefore that while the Prosecution
will be granted access and allowed temporary custody
over the Exhibit, it will be running the risks involved
with such an exercise. In other words, in the event
that the Exhibit is lost, damaged or otherwise altered
while in the temporary custody of the Prosecution,
the Trial Chamber might decide that it will no longer
be considered a valid exhibit for purposes of this
trial;

FOR THE FOREGOING REASONS

PURSUANT TO Rule 54 of the Rules of Procedure
and Evidence;

HEREBY GRANTS the Motion,and

REQUESTS the Registrar to assist with the
practicalities involved in giving the Prosecution
temporary custody over Exhibit P561 and to keep of
a record of when the Exhibit was taken out, when it
was returned and by whom.
